Goodbye to My Old Friend Internet Explorer 6.0

by David Zemens · October 22, 2009 · Accessibility , Web Stuff , Website Design

I am a big fan of the Seinfeld television show. To me, the show epitomizes middle class America comedy in a way no other sitcom has ever managed to do.

In one particular episode, for some reason that I can’t recall, Kramer decides he’s at the time in his life to go without underwear. In a particularly funny scene with Jerry and Elaine, Kramer announces to the world that “I’m out there Jerry and I’m loving every minute of it!”. Free at last, free at last.

Internet Explorer 6.0

by David Zemens · June 14, 2009 · Website Design

I am currently cross browser testing and trouble shooting a new website project that I am working on. It’s coming along nicely and will prove to be a nice website for my client. However…

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate designing websites so that they still function in Internet Explorer 6.0. If I haven’t mentioned it lately, consider this to be a definitive declaration on the subject.

I hate Internet Explorer 6.0!

If there is anyone out there who doesn’t hate it, please leave me a comment and support the reasons you don’t.

The Least Valid Website on the Internet

by David Zemens · June 9, 2008 · Accessibility , Website Design

As most of you know, I strive to develop websites that conform to currently accepted web design standards. I write my code to be valid both via the CSS file and the XHTML markup.

Although it takes a bit more time to design a website to conform to these standards, it always seemed like the right way to design a website. It also feels good when your product is pronounced to be Valid by the various validation tools.

I stumbled upon a website today that appears to me to be the least valid website I have ever seen. Bar none. As of today, there are 2017 validation errors when the XHTML is checked. Wow. That’s a lot of errors.

Can you find a website with more errors than this one has? That’s the challenge for today!

P.S.
Just to balance things out, the University of California Spanish & Portugese Department is one of the most valid websites I have ever seen. The good folks over at Accessites.org highlighted the UC Spanish & Department website over a year ago.

How’s that for contrast?
